Disadvantages of solar high-transmittance glass

4 FAQs about [Disadvantages of solar high-transmittance glass]

What are the disadvantages of solar control glass?

Disadvantages include a higher upfront cost and the need for precise installation to maximise performance. Is solar control glass expensive? It may cost more initially than standard glass, but its long-term benefits—such as lower energy bills and enhanced property value—make it a worthwhile investment for most architectural projects.

Do glass types affect Daylight transmittance?

Results: The results showed that the glass types differed significantly in measured daylight transmittance. The two-layered high transmittance glass transmitted 15% more visual light (380–750 nm) and 20% more light in the spectral range (460–480 nm), stimulating ipRGCs and circadian rhythm, when compared to three-layered low energy glass.

Is high transmittance glass better than low energy glass?

The results showed that high transmittance glass transmitted approximately 4.5% of the outside natural UV-B light, while it was completely blocked by the 3-layered low energy glass. The study found statistically significant differences in self-reported health.

What is the transmittance of uncoated solar glass?

The transmittance of conventional uncoated solar glass at a vertical incidence of light is approximately 91%. The front reflects around 4%, around 4% on the back, and 1% absorption. In addition, there are double reflections within the glass, which is in the order of 0.2%.
